Thinking
COS: If you want to find some E0, you might want to check out THIS LIST.
There's no benefit to Ethanol-free fuel other than the storage factor, or if you're using it in a vehicle made before E10 was standard. (Alcohol tends to eat rubber not designed to handle it.) As for mileage, Ethanol has roughly 1/3 the energy of gasoline, but with only 10% Ethanol and an average fuel consumption of 15-ish MPG, you might see a.5 to 1 MPG difference. Nowhere near enough to offset the added cost of the E0.
In doing so I tripped over a product that would add about a nickel/ gal - which works to reduce ethanol and water damage.

1 oz does 10 gal.
16 oz bottle at $16 is the least cost effective.
I did not look at shipping, but to avoid it, buy $100. That ought to be around 2000 gal worth. 🙄
Guess we're going to experience that hot and dry weather for awhile like you guys do far south and south west of here. Very low humidity, just hot and dry...about 95 today. No real break from it until Sunday.
Dry spell for awhile, lots of brown lawns for those that don't water I expect.

The norm here, high humidity usually accompanies the heat...which makes it more miserable. Not this time though, it's like a dry heat. Normally wet ground around here has been sucked of moisture and cracking.
They changed the extended forecast again....looks like this stuff is going long.

Utah is about the fourth driest state... our average humidity per day for the year is about 51%, as I recall. I think AZ, NM, and NV are drier than UT, and that's all. That 51% has winter days figured into it, so take that for what it's worth.
I don't have one, but I know people that put humidifiers on their furnace.
Humidity was at 22% today... so fairly dry.

I have a humidifier on the furnace here, White. If not levels in the house will easily drop into the single digits. (We're right behind you in 5th place, BTW.)
On my ventilation infestation: I drove the car today, and ahhh, fresh air! Questions that remain, however are: 1) How did the little sumbiches get into the ductwork above the filter in the first place? 2) Where did they get all their building materials? And 3) Where did the varmints go? (I don't really want to think that they may be hanging out with me in the cabin.
EDIT: I always thought a late--60's Cougar would be a fun build, especially with a modern drivetrain and suspension as they're nowhere nearly as plentiful as Mustangs. (The same holds true for Firebird vs. Camaro.)
EDIT-EDIT: Of course, if you found a GT-E, then maybe keep the drivetrain! -- "The fiercest 1968 Cougar was the rare GT-E, offered as a $1,311 option package that included Ford’s 390-hp 427 big-block V-8..." - https://www.hagerty.com/media/car-pr...-for-a-cougar/
